THE BUSINESS
Get to know DJI.
DJI develops drones and camera-stabilization systems for imaging and commercial uses. Its company materials also identify applications in filmmaking, agriculture, conservation, search and rescue and infrastructure work.
The issuer confirms the May 2015 Accel investment. A February 2024 U.S. House committee report supplies historical Sequoia Capital China investment and exit context plus undated Walden participation. Its rounded aggregate is not a priced individual round or current share balance; reported Sequoia exits in 2019 and 2021 prevent treating historical participation as proof of retained ownership. The imported April 5, 2018 closed $1B conflicts with later bidding/term-sheet accounts; the actual close, consideration and participant allocations remain unresolved. Four database-only observations remain unauthenticated. The imported May 2014 Sequoia date/class and its relationship to the committee aggregate remain unresolved within that observation, not a second additive financing. No complete legal financing register, current shareholder ledger or independent all-100 packet approval is claimed.

rumor
Reported fundraising / signed term sheet
Investors undisclosed
The May 11 account says a term sheet was signed and SPA signing was planned for the following week; it does not prove capital receipt or a final legal close. Caixin's April 18 report (https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-04-18/dji-to-raise-1-billion-in-innovative-bidding-process-101235781.html) described bidding still underway. The imported April 5 $1B Series D close and pooled investor names are not corroborated; class D/B labels are not a confirmed Series D. Month precision dates the reported financing process, not a legal close. Final amount, exact instruments, valuation and investor allocations remain unresolved.

Accel growth investment
Accel
DJI announces it has received $75M from Accel. May 6 is the issuer announcement date, not independently inspected subscription/payment evidence. The release does not disclose a series designation, round-wide lead role, valuation, share class or allocation. The separate May 31 database observation is not assumed to be this investment; its occurrence and counterparties remain uncorroborated. Accel's investment is not proof of current retained holdings.
Source published Feb 8, 2024; not a financing date
The committee table rounds Sequoia Capital China's aggregate investment to about US$36M; the body says investments began in August 2014 and reports exits in 2019 and 2021. This is historical investment context, not an individual priced round, exact primary cash proceeds or today's ownership. Individual funding dates, security terms, vehicles, allocations and exit consideration are undisclosed. The May 1, 2014 date and Series A designation imported from https://www.caplight.com/company/dji are not corroborated; their relationship to this aggregate remains unresolved, so they are retained here rather than added as another financing. February 8, 2024 is the report publication date, not a financing or exit date. Underlying investment/exit documents were not independently inspected; no current retained balance or LP identity is inferred.
Walden historical investment (date and terms undisclosed)
Walden International
Source published Feb 8, 2024; not a financing date
The committee describes Walden International as a historical DJI investor and explicitly lists its amount as unknown. Footnote 152 cites prior reporting and a partner biography, not an issuer share register; those underlying originals were not authenticated here. The biography URL timed out during inspection. A partner's executive role is not a separately disclosed personal check. No funding date, series, legal vehicle, lead role, allocation, LP or current retained holding is inferred. February 8, 2024 is source publication, not a new financing. Possible overlap with other observations remains unresolved; this record is unclassified and not additive primary proceeds.
